During the past eighteen years, massage therapy in the United States has become more and more popular. The value of massage in both the prevention of injury and the acceleration of healing of injuries has gained acceptance and recognition throughout the medical fields. Massage therapy addresses a variety of health conditions, the most prevalent being stress-related tension, which, experts believe, accounts for 80%-90% of disease. More people than ever are using massage to manage and relieve pain associated with overworked muscles.

Therapeutic Massage and Its Origin
Massage therapy includes a wide variety of diversified therapeutic approaches working to improve our health and vitality through the systematic hands-on manipulation of our body’s muscles and other soft tissues.

Manipulation can involve any combination of kneading, pressing, rolling, rubbing, slapping, tapping, or rocking, all intended to help us feel better.

Cave paintings in western Europe depicting the use of therapeutic massage date back to 15,000 B.C. Written records about therapeutic massage date back over 2,500 years in China and India. Acupressure, reflexology, and Shiatsu therapies emerged from these Eastern sources. Greek and Roman physicians spread massage throughout Europe to maintain physical health and relieve their patients’ suffering. Julius Caesar was reportedly massaged on a daily basis to combat epilepsy.

The development of modern Western massage therapy methods is primarily credited to Peter Heinrik Ling, a nineteenth-century Swedish athlete. His therapy approach became known as Swedish massage, and is one of the most commonly used therapy methods in the Western world today.
